This is the first time I replied to you, dingleberry... Every other time was replying to someone else. Clown!

Jesus Christ, detlef, just how moronic do you get? That last post said nothing. Do you realize that? It just reeks of your defeat when you have no coherent argument left.

In your last post, you simply restated what I said in a different way with some other cute comments surrounding it to make you feel good, so you claiming I don't know odds is an indictment on yourself? So, lets get this straight for those playing along.

You're an idiot
You don't know it
Please consider hari kari is your only viable option

Use commas...

'Just how moronic do you get' is terrible sentence structure... Maybe you are the idiot. "How moronic can you be?", "How big of a moron are you?", etc. would be grammatically correct and not make you look like a bigger tool than you already do.

For saying he is just repeating himself here, you have found a way to say the same thing three times in one post... Also, this is horrible sentence structure... AGAIN.

Punctuation?

Seriously, must I continue showing everyone here why you breathe through your mouth?

That's some seriously deficient trolling you're doing there friend. Maybe you should upgrade that ignore level!

Show me how I am trolling? I was merely pointing out that you should not be so loose with your rude and juvenile words like 'idiot' and 'moronic' when you yourself are on the low side of book smarts.

The first highlighted sentence isn't a question; it would be a statement. Secondly, after "idiot"and "moronic", use a period so you don't have a run-on sentence. We all make mistakes Anarkistsdream. No one is grammatically perfect all the time especially on a game site forum.

It's the second time you cl...actually, you make a clown look brilliant.

And quibbling over sentence structure

on the internets

as some sort of pwn?


Join detlef's hari kari cult and have a sword sharpening party.

Shame you are incorrect on both parts...

A question mark indicates a questioning tone, which I included... It may not come across so well on the internet, but it's there...

As for a supposed run-on sentence, you are incorrect again... Show me how it is run-on...

Nice try, though.

Oh bother. OK, here we go. We're going to but this baby to bed now.

So, the very controversial statement I made went something to the effect of, "Over time you are just as likely to benefit from the random poor play of others as you are to be hurt by it." Are we cool there? Is this the crazy notion that I'm forced to defend?

OK then.

First, the literal idiot version. In a six player game, you have a 1 in 5 chance of being the victim of bad play but a 4 in 5 chance of benefiting from it. Of course, the benefit is likely much smaller because you share that benefit with 4 others while the guy who gets suicided against (assuming that is, in fact the manner in which the poor play manifests itself) is likely dead. So, we're going to have to graduate to level 2. Are you ready little one? Here we go!

So, 6 guys play 5 games against each other. One of those six guys is a real idiot and is bound to suicide himself against a random player at some point in the game. Statistics say that it will likely happen to each of the other players once. OK, tell you what, let's say they play 50 games so we let the odds settle out a bit. So, the idiot never wins any of the games because he suicides each one. Each of the other five players has no chance of winning 10 of the 50 games because he was the subject of the suicide. So, that means that each of the other 5 players also is left alive in 40 games that have only 4 players who have a chance of winning. Assuming equal skill and luck, each player should thus win exactly 10 games each.

So, my claim is that, over time, you going to benefit from poor play of others as much as it is going to hurt you. Can you point out which of the above non-idiot players this is not true for? Which one got the better end of the deal? Which one got the worse end? Seems like everyone won exactly as many games as the others. In fact, because the idiot is just gifting his points to the group, the 5 non-idiots should come away with a net point gain.

Any questions? By the way, I'm done now. Like I said before, enjoy your special place.

So, you settle on the notion that the play of stripers should come out as a wash in the end as far as hurting and benefiting, but then go on to prove (with a horribly simplistic example) that the crazy play of others actually ends up helping EVERYONE that isn't a striper?

It's a good thing you are done with this thread, I'm not sure there is anything you can do to recover any sort of reputation you had.

neither you nor detlef can recover any reputation. detlef because he never lost it, you because you never had it.

How cute, a clan member stepping up to defend the honor of his clansmen. Douchenozzle must be a requirement for entry to that clan if I just consider the ones that have posted in this thread

Guys, this topic has rather degenerated, wouldn't you say.

If you can't get it back on track, civil and meaningful, it's going to end up getting locked.
And no, posting "one last message" to get the last word is not kosher unless it actually adds to the conversation rather than dragging it further down the "w00t, internet cat fight" hole.

Have a good one

Starting this thread was an ill-advised action in the first place. I wish you'd just locked it.

[Twill]

Timm, if it ain't on topic, it doesn't being posted

[State409c]

I won this thread, so, you can lock it is far as I am concerned.

[Timminz]

But, that is my opinion on this topic. I'll go somewhere else now.

Wow. That's arrogant.

If you really want to find some good players who are "just stripes", go join a tournament or two (although you might want to buy premium first). I can guarantee that some of those players can dominate a game with those "higher ranks".

[FabledIntegral]

Highly doubt it.

[codeblue1018]

Highly doubt it.

Very interesting game I just had with this so-called, high ranker, Fabledintegral, lol. You play identical to that of a striper. Your suicide attacks and horrendous game play are what this topic and YOU are about. Re-read pal, it fits you to a "T". Never again, ignore listed. Also, since this is our last game, ME: 2 wins, YOU: 0. Enough said!

You are potentially the most dense person I've ever encountered. Your utter stupidity absolutely amazes me.

1. I let it be known at the beginning of the game my intention wasn't to win.
2. You were the strongest on the board and you convinced the other player, green, to suicide on me.
3. In return for green suiciding me, you promised to let him have Europe and leave Africa. Instead you blatantly lied to him and instead of leaving Africa, you killed him and took his bonus.

Congratulations, you are able to win vs me when I'm not trying, you manipulate another player to suicide me, AND on top of all this you LIE and wipe out the very player you convinced to suicide me after he ends his turn. I'm sure everyone hear is in AWE of your skill.

Alright, this thread is clearly going nowhere at all.

Lock-down time
